Update display label to something more friendly
Authored by: galaher on Mon, Mar 31 2008 at 8:06AM PDT

Althought I'm sure 'dict.cc' means something to folks familiar with the project (which is very cool by the way), I was looking for something a little more friendly. I found that after installing the German English plug-in and then launching the Dictionary App, and going to the preferences (in Leopard, I'm not sure about Tiger) you will be able to Edit the "label" which changes the display name. I changed 'dict.cc' to 'Deutsch-English'.

However, I haven't been able to figure out how to change the display name in the Dictionary Widget. If anyone has that figured out, please post the hint.

Thanks
